Delia's Little Mermaid Party

My little niece turned 4 two weeks ago!

And for weeks before the party, every time i saw her she told me that she was

having a little mermaid party!

So her Mom and I sat down and started planning!

First we knew there had to be a little mermaid cake and we

looked at thousands of little mermaid cakes for ideas!

After that i put my cake decorating skills to work and was very pleased with the result!

The cake consisted of two tiers, top tier a yummy carrot cake, bottom tier a hazelnut mocha brownie cake!

There were also cupcakes!

The inspiration for the cucpakes came from

Glorious treats flickr stream: little mermaid cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream ganache!

All the toppers were edible, also the character ones, i used edible paper on top of fondant.

As for all the other things, it took me a week to find most of them.

The party boxes, hats, cups and plates were all bought and modified a bit by me!

Using little mermaid stickers...

The banner and cupcake collars were all made by me to match the party decor!

I can tell you this, allthough it was a lot of work, it was soooooo much fun!

I get super excited about parties and cakes and all things pretty!

I am sure there is something wrong with me!

Take a look at all the prettiness of this party!

There were so many details!

Can you spot the sea weed and bubbles(chinese lanterns) hanging from the ceiling?

The friends! What is a party without some happy friends to share it with?

I hope you enjoyed the pictures with me!
